The compound eyes are prominent features of adult insects. The eyes occupy a fairly large portion of the surface of insect heads, and they facilitate a rather wide field of vision. Compounds eyes are not present in all insects.

Insects can see light that is invisible to humans The amazing thing about insect vision is that they have photoreceptors that detect ultraviolet light that is invisible to many animals, including you! If we do just fine without seeing ultraviolet light, why should insects find ultraviolet light so important?

It is of course impossible for humans to perceive what an insect sees. But we think that a compound ... (The free retinal will later be reduced to vitamin A, and in a second reaction, from this vitamin retinal is formed again, which recombines with the free opsin. That is why we need vitamin A for a good night vision).

The second type, typical in nocturnal insects, is said to be vision by "superposition". Light may be partly diffused among neighboring ommatidium, so that a sort of sharing occurs, increasing the light available to each facet.

An artificial insect eye that could be used in ultra-thin cameras has been developed by scientists in the US. ... Insect eyes, known as compound eyes, usually consist of hundreds of tiny lens-capped optical units, known as ommatidia. For example, a dragonfly has 30,000 of the structures in each eye.
